[Hiring] SAP Project Manager @Tarkett Sports

Role Description

We are looking for a hands-on SAP S4HANA Project Manager to lead a multi-phase greenfield Public Cloud implementation and shape the project governance that doesn’t yet exist. This is a true builder role — high visibility, high ownership, and the chance to define how major programs get delivered across our Manufacturing and Construction operations. You’ll be the force that keeps the SI accountable, the business protected, and the program moving. You will be reporting to the Senior Director, ERP Modernization • Information Technology.

The position is remote to the United States, preference in Georgia, Atlanta and requires heavy travel in Canada and United States.

What you’ll do:

• Lead SAP S/4HANA Delivery: Drive the end-to-end execution of a multi-phase Public Cloud implementation, managing dependencies, RAID logs, and critical path across IT, the SI, and business teams.
• Build Governance from the Ground Up: Establish the project management framework — status reporting, change control, escalation paths — and own it.
• Hold the SI Accountable: Challenge plans, identify gaps, track deliverables, and ensure quality and scope stay on track.
• Bridge IT, Finance & Operations: Partner with our Finance Sponsor and business leaders to ensure the solution supports project-based accounting, WIP, manufacturing costs, and operational realities.
• Protect Business Teams: Plan SME/BPO involvement thoughtfully to avoid burnout and keep operations running smoothly.
• Drive Testing & Go-Live Discipline: Ensure UAT, defect management, cutover, and phase gates are structured, sequenced, and respected.
• Support Broader IT Projects: Provide PM oversight for additional IT initiatives as needed.

Qualifications

• 10–15 years of PM experience, including 8+ years leading ERP programs in client-side or owner-side roles.
• At least one full lifecycle SAP S/4HANA greenfield implementation and strong knowledge of SAP Activate and SAP ALM.
• Functional understanding of SAP FI or Supply Chain, especially integration with Manufacturing, Project Systems, and job costing.
• Experience in Manufacturing, Construction, or complex industrial environments.
• Proven ability to manage System Integrators and challenge vendor plans effectively.
• A self-starter who thrives without a formal PMO and brings their own toolkit (RAID, templates, governance frameworks).
• Strong stakeholder range — from executive sponsors to plant managers.
• Bachelor’s degree in IT, Finance, or Engineering + PMP/PRINCE2/SAP Activate certification.

Requirements

• Bonus: Big 4 consulting background or experience with SAP Public Cloud releases.
• Travel: 50-75% - Canada and United States.

Benefits

• A culture built on teamwork, respect, and entrepreneurial spirit.
• Leadership that invests in your growth and career development.
• Opportunities to take on new challenges, cross-train, and expand your skillset.
• Recognition and rewards for your contributions and achievements.
• A fast-paced, sports-driven environment where your work makes an impact.
• Hybrid work option*
• Benefits that go beyond the basics.
• Matching contribution retirement savings plan.
• Learning & development program.
• EAP program + family.
• Generous holiday schedule available.
